Speaking at the Airshow China in Zhuhai, Airbus China President Laurence Barron says the Rolls-Royce Trent 900 issue is not expected to affect the delivery of the five A380s the Guangzhou-based carrier has on order.

Rolls-Royce and Airbus are reportedly looking into replacing up to 80 of Trent 900 engines following the 4 November uncontained failure aboard a Qantas A380.
